Both are in really rough condition and, IMO, they're not worth more than $80-100 for the two of them, especially given the amount of work they require (the broken board has stems broken in about half the switches and many switches missing), but Brown Alps aren't super common. They were at $150 for the both, but I talked them down some. They don't seem willing to go any lower and $150 is way too much for me for what they are.

If someone gets them, I'd be interested in the super messed up board if the price is right.

The seller is also selling this interesting split keyboard...but for $250.

If I recall correctly, the comfort systems KB MSRP was astronomical.

Yeah, I saw that one too. It's interesting looking, but not my cuppa. That and it seems pricey for being untested.

I'm really just interested in the Alps. They get me all funny feeling inside.

Throwing my interest out there for a dozen or two of the switches in case someone were to buy both and wanted to flip the one for parts.
